Key result
Ultrasound properties in bovine blood vessels and myocardium correlate with structural protein levels.
Why the study?
Data on ultrasound velocity, compressibility, and specific acoustic impedance in major bovine blood vessels were lacking and needed analysis based on structural protein content.
Population
Bovine aorta, pulmonary artery, vena cava, and myocardium tissues
Design
Experimental study measuring ultrasound properties in bovine tissues

These bovine ex vivo data warrant clinical caution before any imaging application; leaves open human validation of protein-acoustic links.

Shung et al. (1978) studied this question. Ultrasound velocity, compressibility, and acoustic impedance in bovine blood vessels and myocardium were analyzed based on the amounts of structural proteins present.
